Short Summary

To children, a playground is more than just a playground. It’s a friend-maker, a brain-expander, and a muscle-builder. But only 1 in 5 kids in the U.S. live within walking distance of a playground; and kids are struggling to develop socially, cognitively, and physically as a result. 

We are a team of 7 students at Yale University raising funds to help build a playground just like this one built in the New Haven area (CT). In order to achieve our goal, we are supporting KaBOOM!, a national nonprofit that builds playgrounds across America. 

Find more information about KaBOOM! on this video:

What We Need & What You Get

Our goal is to raise $5,000 USD for kids across the U.S. These funds will go towards building a playground built by KaBOOM!, changing the lives of hundreds of children in the community. 

If we do not reach our goal of $5,000, all funds raised will go towards KaBOOM! so it can continue to build playgrounds across the country.

Help us give kids the childhood they deserve. Every little bit helps!


The Impact

Your contribution is critical for the future of kids across the U.S. In New Haven (CT) for example, over 20% of families and 32% of those under age 18 live below the poverty line. Please consider donating to the next KaBOOM! playground project, and help give kids the childhood they deserve.

Since 1996, KaBOOM! has built, open or improved 16,300 playgrounds and served over 7.4 million children. This new playground will serve hundreds of children and families.


Risks & Challenges

Our main risk would be not to achieve our goal of $5,000. If this is the case, all funds raised will still be donated to support the work of KaBOOM! on behalf of children across the U.S.
